San Cristobal's funicular

This funicular (cliff railway in the UK) goes all the way up to the top of San Cristobal Hill, where you can find the Virgin Mary I showed you two weeks ago. Also, in the middle of the ride, you can stop and visit the Santiago Metropolitan Zoo, which I expect to show you soon.In April 1st, 1987, the late Pope John Paul II, used this funicular to go to the Virgin sanctuary and bless Chile.
